Gus Hansen wins $1.2 Million in 2 Weeks!

It has been a rollercoaster year for Gus Hansen at the high-stakes tables on Full Tilt Poker, finding himself down a staggering $3.6 million for 2010 alone, however in the last 2 weeks he has been on a massive heater and managed to win $1.2 million at the online tables. Gus now finds himself down $2.4 million for the year and with just around 10 weeks until the year is over, he will be hoping he can continue his hot streak and post a profit for the year.

Of course, where there is a winner there is a loser and the player who took the biggest hit from Gus was Luukie21 on Wednesday evening as he found himself crushed by him for $595k.

The Dane played a 2,146 hand session on Wednesday where he played $200/$400 PLO, $500/$1,000 Seven-Card Stud and $1,000/$2,000 H.O.R.S.E, however the biggest action occured at the $500/$1,000 heads up PLO tables where he took on unknown player Luukie21.

Prior to this session Luukie21 was beginning to make a name for himself having a profit of $200k for the week taking on the worlds best high stakes players however Gus brought an end to that streak leaving him with a hole of $595k, and despite winning a little back from other players Luukie21 ended the day down $480k.

Despite Gus still finding himself down a massive $2.4 million, he is actually not the biggest loser of the year. That honor goes to Brian Townsend who finds himself down $2.5 million however he also has a second account – ‘sbruby’ and that account is lso down $1.5 million so his combined losses for the year are actually around $4 million for the year.
